Sherman County Jail Inmate Search
Sherman County Jail Inmate Search, Goodland, KS
This guide covers the sheriff's online list of current inmates, what it tells you, how to ask about mugshots, and how to track someone after an arrest in Sherman County. The jail is at 813 1/2 Broadway in Goodland, and the sheriff posts a current inmates list showing each person's charges, the arresting agency and the bond, written as cash or surety, or "No Bond" when a judge must act first. Open the list and scan for the last name; if the person was booked within the last hour or two, call the jail at 785-890-4835 instead, since staff can confirm a booking before the list catches up. Someone who has bonded out or been moved drops off the list, and VINELink can show where a transferred person went. The office keeps Mountain time, an hour behind most of Kansas. Court dates appear on Kansas Courts Case Search once a case is filed.

2. How do I read the current inmates list?
- Open the sheriff's current inmates list.
- Find the person by last name. Each entry shows the charges and the arresting agency.
- Read the bond column: a cash or surety figure can be posted; "No Bond" means a judge has to rule before release.
- Missing name? They may still be in booking, may have bonded out, or may be held elsewhere. Call 785-890-4835.
- For alerts on a release or transfer, register the person on VINELink Kansas.
3. Are Sherman County mugshots online?
The sheriff's posted list is about custody, charges and bonds. For a booking photo, contact the sheriff's office at 785-890-4835; the office decides what it releases to the public and the media.
Federal agencies keep their booking photos from the public and press, except that the U.S. Marshals Service may put one out, for example when a fugitive is being sought. To ask for an immigration booking photo, use ICE's FOIA request form.
↑ Back to the question list4. Is there a warrant in Goodland?
Goodland deputies with the Sherman County Sheriff's Office serve warrants throughout the county; call 785-890-4835 to ask. Goodland's district court cases appear on Kansas CaseSearch, and as Kansas doesn't run a statewide warrant search, Goodland's docket is the place to look. Most people take care of it at the Sherman County Jail, on a date their lawyer works out. Goodland's district court clerk, Room 201 at 813 Broadway Ave., is the one to call after a missed hearing: 785-890-4850.
↑ Back to the question list5. Posting bond at the Goodland jail
The amount on the list is set by a judge or magistrate of the 15th Judicial District, who must see an arrested person promptly (K.S.A. 22-2901). "Cash" means the full amount is deposited; "surety" means a licensed bondsman approved in the district can post it for a fee. The sheriff's page also offers a list of bonding agencies. Call 785-890-4835 to confirm the payment types, and see our Sherman County bail guide for conditions, refunds and the other bond forms.
↑ Back to the question list6. Charges, case numbers and court dates
The charges on the list are booking charges; the county attorney decides what is filed. The district court clerk has the case and the hearing schedule: Sherman County District Court, Sherman County Courthouse, 813 Broadway Ave., Room 201, Goodland, KS 67735; 785-890-4850, fax 785-890-4858. Case Search shows the same docket by name. What each Goodland hearing involves is explained on our Sherman court page.
↑ Back to the question list7. Asking for an appointed attorney
At the first appearance, a defendant who cannot pay a lawyer tells the judge and signs the court's financial affidavit. Appointed counsel in Kansas is funded by the Board of Indigents' Defense Services, 785-296-6631. Because jail calls are recorded, details of the arrest should be saved for the lawyer.
↑ Back to the question list8. Medical needs and medicine
Call 785-890-4835 to report injuries, prescriptions and the pharmacy that fills them. The jail's medical staff decide on care, and true emergencies go to the hospital. Any concern about suicide should be raised at once.
↑ Back to the question list9. Video visits, calls, mail and money
Free video visits take place at the sheriff's office on Mondays and Thursdays, 3 to 5 p.m. Mountain time, with sign-in closing at 4. Visitors must be 18 or older and bring photo ID and an email address. Call 785-890-4835 the same day to make sure visits are running; remote visits from home are also offered, and our visitation page explains how they work.
Send mail to the person's full name at Sherman County Jail, 813 1/2 Broadway, Goodland, KS 67735. For calls, deposits and the store, see our phone page, money page and commissary page.
↑ Back to the question list10. Getting out and picking up property
After bond posts, staff finish paperwork and check for holds from other counties, states or probation. A person with a hold may be transported rather than released. Items taken at booking are returned at the door, so call ahead for a likely time.
↑ Back to the question list11. What about a juvenile?
A minor is not housed in the adult jail. A youth needing secure detention goes to a youth detention center that serves the area, and the case stays confidential. Phone the sheriff's office at 785-890-4835 to find out where the youth went.
↑ Back to the question list12. From the county jail to a Kansas prison
A felony prison sentence means waiting in the Goodland jail until the Kansas Department of Corrections arranges transport. KDOC's reception and diagnostic center reviews health, needs and security risk, then a prison is chosen. Locate the person on KASPER, and see our Kansas state prisons page.
↑ Back to the question list13. If federal agents made the arrest
Federal cases from this corner of Kansas belong to the Salina division of the U.S. District Court for the District of Kansas, which the Topeka clerk's office serves: 444 S.E. Quincy, Room 490, Topeka, KS 66683, 785-338-5400. At the initial federal hearing a magistrate judge rules on release or detention under the Bail Reform Act, with no cash schedule.
The U.S. Marshals Service holds federal defendants before trial and can house them in county jails; its Topeka office answers 785-596-9470. Sentenced federal prisoners move to the Bureau of Prisons; the BOP inmate locator lists their facility.
↑ Back to the question list14. How an ICE hold works
- The fingerprints taken at booking are checked against federal records, and that check notifies immigration officers.
- ICE can send a detainer, Form I-247A.
- Paying the bond on the Kansas charge does not lift it.
- The sheriff may hold the person "up to 48 hours after they would otherwise be released" (8 CFR 287.7(d)) for ICE.
- If ICE does not arrive, release follows.
- ICE picks the detention site; Kansas falls under the Chicago Field Office, 101 W. Ida B. Wells Dr., Suite 4000, Chicago, IL 60605, 872-351-3990.
- Use the ICE detainee locator with an A-number and birth country, or name, birth date and country. ICE detention information: 888-351-4024.
